What do you do? Well, you show both your father-in-law and especially your daughter what a real man is like.

It is so sad that your daughter would have to experience this at all, let alone at such a tender age. She is far too young to understand anything to complex so perhaps it is best to just explain to her that sometimes when people do not understand or get upset that they say mean things, and that word is something very mean. That even though people get upset, not matter how upset they are they should not say mean things, but sometimes they do.

As for your father-in-law if you think a face to face discussion might be too confrontational call him. Refuse to raise your voice or become angry. Simply tell him that the world is a tough place and that family is extremely important to children and they should be able to consider it a safe haven from the cruelties of the world. Tell him everyone makes mistakes and you are 100% confident (even though you probably aren't) that is was a slip of the tongue that he deeply regrets. Tell him you just want him to know that you know it occured, and to reinforce that it will NEVER happen again because that little girl is HIS flesh and blood too and it is HIS job to help protect her and be there for her, not to destroy her.

If you can't do it without becoming angry, write him a letter or email him.
